I PVR this on AMC and they routinely have their schedule skewed by about 5 minutes, so I see the credits of the movie before Mad Men and then miss the last few minutes. Anyone else have this problem or is it just a provider thing?

I've never read le Carre. I settled into Tinker Tailor one night and was surprised when I was struggling to follow it. I watched it a second time and I'm still not 100% sure I know what the deal was. I'm intrigued now.

New regime same as old regime.

Only if you're also writing seriously about films. If you're older, then you wrote this piece about Cobra.

Totally agreed. I didn't mind the movie at all — the long sequences near the end showing Crockett and Tubbs with their respective gal pals got boring, but to me it was just another stylish cop flick. The part that sticks out to me was when that guy was head shot with the 50 cal gun and his head completely disappeared.…

They still have Kraven the Hunter — I really hope they go the leather daddy route with him.

@Juan_Carlo:disqus There's a very similar audience reaction to a Canadian humorist named Stuart MacLean. The stories are sort of folksy and quaint, but the audience laughs as hard as a Showtime at the Apollo crowd.

Kind of ruined it when she bellowed "Kingslayer!!" just as he left the room though.

Yeah, not very likable contestant opens her speech to the jury with, "Guess what, I am already rich!"

I wonder what would have happened if Dawn won final immunity. Would she have taken Cochran to the final?

Definitely one of the best final jury performances ever.

I like the Hot Diggity Dogger.

I think the story could be more effective with an underage prostitute. But these are my cures for writer's block and your mileage may vary. You tired analogies may also vary.

Touch was such an annoying show. I think Tim Kring will now mean "stay the fuck away" to me.

I don't think I've ever watched any of the shows that were listed as cancelled in the Newsfeed.
